We are looking for an efficient way to predict map service drawing performance. We want to do it before the service is published, within ArcGIS Pro.
- We want to determine layer by layer performance metrics, so that they may be identified and optimized before a service is published.
- We are dealing with high volumes of layers across a high volume of maps that are subject to regular change. Whether it be vector or raster layers in the map.
- Our layers originate from SDE, FGDB's plus File Store locations.
We publish/overwrite map services frequently as the data changes, layers are added/removed/configured etc...services are then used within ArcGIS Portal Maps for use in Experience Builder and other Portals apps.
In ArcMap we used mxdperfstat as a way of identifying and optimizing layer drawing speeds. It simply took an input MXD and ran it's own pre-programmed testing of each layer at various scales.
Critically mxdperfstat produced an output that would provide you a list of all layers within your map with important stats on: Layer Name, Refresh time, Recommendations. It also provided useful stats on number of features, number of vertices, labelling plus others. It was a highly efficient way for GIS analysts to ultimately deliver high performance map services.
As we are transitioning into ArcGIS Pro we are looking into PerfTools capabilities to undertake this capability.
I have been reading the PerfTools documentation for ArcGIS Pro and have also undertaken testing.
It doesn't seem to provide layer by layer drawing speed statistics. I can see it can provide metrics on bookmark drawing speeds but not per layer drawing speeds within the map.
It seems that PerfTools can inform DrawTime for sections of your map but it does not provide individual layer DrawTime & associated metrics.
Does anyone have examples of PerfTools outputs that identify layer by layer performance metrics?
Does anyone have any suggestions for alternate methods?
We would happily look at alternatives such as Python scripts or other 3rd Party Add-ins.
If there are also alternate tools out there that can look directly and analyze a Map Service this could also be of interest.
To re-iterate our focus is on individual layers within an ArcGIS Pro Map. With high volumes of layers across high volumes of maps.
There is no intention to determine ArcGIS Pro machine performance nor ArcGIS Server machine performance.
Hi @KoryKramer - I have seen your contributions to several posts related ArcGIS Pro performance. If possible, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this matter.
Thanks.
